ADEW has been able to respond to a multitude of needs in Ecuador. During the last twenty years, ADEW has helped over thirty organizations that work with the less fortunate across the country; thanks to the continuing support of its members and friends. The members of ADEW invite you to join the organization as a member or a supporter of our mission and be part of the solution to the huge needs of our beloved Ecuador.

ADEW was founded in 1986 with the objective of raising funds by holding cultural, social, and educational events in the Washington, DC area to aid various causes in Ecuador. Since then, ADEW has sent aid to orphanages, institutions for the blind and the mentally challenge, nursing homes, centers for patients with terminal diseases, cancer and heart foundations, schools for disabled and abandoned children as well as assistance to disaster victims.
